WELAKA. March III:
The surveyors are still at work on the
new railroad. We understand that sew
eral routes have already been laid ont he
tween Welaka and Satsuna. and the
most feasible of the number is to he ii xesi
at once. Ii Is necessary now that those
interested in this matter should come
forward at once and say what amount
i'm land or money they can afford tn sub
scribe. Ii is certain that the road can
not be carried through at present if those
who have property along the read ID not
lend their assistance. That the railroad
being close To property benefits that prop
erty there can be no doubt. and for this
reason everyone should be prepared to
invest. The incorpOratOrs of the line are
perfectly fair i'm their proposals and de-
mands, and men who have energy and
spirit enough to face large and difficult
undertaking such as this is ought tO be
looked upon as public benefactOrs. Why
do men sit around their houses waiting
until some one comes to ask them to lend
their assistance instead of going out Of
their way to tender their aid. whether it
is large or small? 1t is neither a fair nor
a manly mode Of procedure. Let those
who are within walking distance of a
proposed railroad help To build il, ar
when il is running make no attempt to
reap the benefit.
